When I learned that my friends Zach and Cecil Keyes were not only moving back to KC from Chicago, but also purchasing J’Adore Home & Garden from (retiring) owners Allan Stever and Michael Richardson—I was thrilled. I was also delighted to be invited to their official opening—a springtime soirée with bites and bubbles.
The charming Brookside home shop is chock-a-block full of giftables for oneself or someone you adore. The store is brimming with home décor, indoor plants and florals, kitchen accessories, and lots for the entertainer. More than just small treasures, J’adore has plenty of serious hard-good options, including lamps, furniture, and area rugs. In fact, most of the upholstered furniture and rugs are available in custom varieties. A new design center provides ample space for playing with fabric samples and wall covering options from venerable purveyors like Schumacher and Thibault. Drop in for a gift and give your living room a full makeover!
While sipping on my rosé, a cobalt-blue lacquered bamboo bar cart caught my eye. Likewise for the verdant green-velvet sofa and several attractive table and floor lamps. I picked up some host gifts for an upcoming dinner party, cocktail napkins by my all-time favorite, Caspari, as well as some fresh candles from Pickwick & Co. that matched my springy mood. Drop in and give the new owners a shout!
